Saban is a proven winner. His track record speaks for itself. I think he gets it more than Kelly does.
The talent he gets is better. No denying that. It's a well oiled machine now and maybe it just runs itself.
Kelly has squandered too much talent at ND for me to say he is equal or even close.
It's hard to judge assistant/positional coaches because who knows who is really making what decisions. I feel like the head coach is. And the head coach should be overseeing what is taught and how it is taught. Saban coached programs have an identity. Kelly is constantly searching for an identity each year. He had to reinvent himself as a coach because what he was doing wasn't working.
